a whaier GOO miles away and brought into Princetown. The whole ascent and descent occupied one- half hour The sailors on the whaler, when they saw the balloon floating in the water, thought it was an immense blubber and harpooned it. It immediately collapsed and was taken on board, the Newburyport papers of the previous day being found in the car. The pro- lessor has been ever since actively en- gagged as an aeronaut, and at various times has taken up every member of his family having in thirty five years made over 300 ascensions. His son, John, Jr., made his first ascension at the age of eight with his grandfather.
 One of the most notable ascensions that has ever been made was made by him under the direction of his father, at Wavensburg, Green county, when he was fourteen years old. After working half day at infating the balloon, the supply of gas gave out when the balloon was only half full. The balloon refused to ascend with the
 
 thing that has never before or since been attempted. He cut the lower half of the balloon off. While he was doing this some officious spectator cut the valve rope two feet beyond the boys reach, and in the midst of rain- storm the fourteen-y year-old aeronaut went sailing into space, and beyond the clouds, hatless and coatless and without valve cord.
 He was directed by his father not to go over two miles, but being unable to reach the valve cord he got caught ill heavy snow storm and was driven forty miles in forty minutes. Land ing where there were no means of communication, he was not heard from for two days. The excitement of the citizens was so intense that they organ iZed a committee to search for and give him a reception when found. When he was found the citizens filled his hat with money. He was nearly frozen to death during the voyage, and when he descended he was covered with icicles, Since then he has made 250 ascensions without an accident.
 The highest ascension ever made was on September. 5. 1862 by James Glaisher, F. R. S. He left the earth with Aeronant Coggswell at Wolver- hampton, England, at 1. 03 D. m. and at 1. 5+ was 10000 feet high, going up at the rate of 1000 feet per minute. He kept on ascending until the balloon attained an altitude of 37,000 feet. Glaisher became utterly unconscious. but Coggswell climbed up the ropes and pulled the valve rope with his teeth. They descended at the rate of 2000 feet per minute until the balloon formed parachute, when it came down easily seven miles from the starting point.
 The longest and fastest balloon voy- age was made on July 1, 1859 by John Wise, Sr., La Mountain and Oliver F. Gager of New York. They left St. Louis at p. m., and landed in Jeffer- son county, N. Y., at 2.35 p. m. the next day, the distance being HOO miles as the bird flies, and 200 miles as the balloon flew.

Precaution Against Chambers.

Every precaution is now being taken
to prevent the further spread OF gland.
ers in this vicinity, and owners of
animals that have thus Tar escaped
the dread disease are guarding them
with the utmost care. When Dr. Al
loway, the territorial veterinarian,
was here, he recommended among
other things that the hitchiDg posts
about the city be destroyed, and this
was done yesterday, under the direc-
tiop OF Alderman Hesly, chairman OF
the committee on health and hospi-
tails. This was most important step,
and would have been taken long ago
had II been known that CHAMBERS pre-
vailed among us.
DIR. Alloway will return to the city
during the present week, aud will re-
sumo the work Of condemning and de-
stroying the diseased animals. He
has already made recommendations
which prove that be Is thorough in
his profession, and will do everything
in his power 10 check the disease.

pied by the Robidou horses must pe

Four glanderei animals belonging

to the city yesterday, and will be Kill

that numerous horses in the city are
suffering from the disease, and they

Meeting The Billiards,

The time when we should prepare for
the winter Ia at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
eXpend his money to the best advantage,
and if he takes the trouble to enquire, he
soon finds that WOlfsOn,s is the place,
because, in the first place. there ia a
large stock of all kinds of winter goods
to select from, and In the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has a large assortment
OF blankets. white, cOlOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5
TO $50 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and eX-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at WOlfsOD's.
